Ruth McLees Art: Developing Dylan
http://ruthmcleesart.blogspot.com/2014/10/developing-dylan.html
Wednesday, 15 October 2014. This post was written for the Dylanwad 100 blog, part of the celebrations for the centenary of the writer and poet Dylan Thomas. Whilst working with young people on the Delivering Dylan project I've been struck by the potential of using visual art as a gateway into other, more challenging subjects, and the incredible capacity of young people to rise to any challenge.

Ruth McLees Art: June 2014
http://ruthmcleesart.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 23 June 2014. Halen Mon, Day 3. Friday. My final day with Halen Mon is drawing to a close. It's gorgeous here, and I'd love to stay. I have so many ideas for art, ranging from the semi functional to the more fantastical, but how best to progress? Between us we've decided to start with the practical and work from there. Yes, that's on the cards for later on this year. By then both of us will have progressed and we should be able to recombine our ideas with physical elements on site. There's the fa...

Ruth McLees Art: May 2014
http://ruthmcleesart.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 6 May 2014. Thoughts on a collaboration. As I see it there are three players in this new collaboration: me, Halen Mon, and the salts in between, and all are unknown factors at this point in time. Halen Mon. Within the culinary world, Halen Mon and their salts have nothing to prove. But what's their take on the world of art? We've communicated entirely by email until now and so I'm itching to find a mutually convenient time when I can visit them in Anglesey and set out ideas and scope face to face.

Ruth McLees Art: Halen Mon, Day 2
http://ruthmcleesart.blogspot.com/2014/06/halen-mon-day-2.html
Friday, 20 June 2014. Halen Mon, Day 2. My second day at Halen Mon has been a day of finding connections and correlation. There's the fascinating visual likeness between the mountains of Snowdonia visible across the Menai Straight, and the pyramid-like salt crystals produced from the Menai Straight water. Then there's the intriguing similarity between the colours of the local countryside and coastline and those of the various Halen Mon salts. Seawater gypsum chalk salt. Chalk gypsum salt water =?

Ruth McLees Art: Commissioning an Artwork
http://ruthmcleesart.blogspot.com/p/commissioning-artwork.html
Guidelines for Commissioning a Portrait. 1) Choose your photo. I can paint portraits from a photo. The better the quality of photograph, then the better the finished painting will be. Photographs should be clear, in focus with the subject occupying the majority of the frame. Photographs showing subjects in the distance aren't usually good enough to work from. I am happy to advise you on the suitability of your photos before you make any commitment. 2) Choose your size. 3) Choose your colour and fabric.
